Chapter 102: Angry Chicken One
After some discussion and planning, Partridge Whistle, Red Girl, Chen Yulou and Zhang Lin embarked on the road to find something to restrain the poison in Pingshan.
Zhang Lin thought: There is another white horse, which is the lineup of Journey to the West, and the group of gunmen following behind. It is like the group of people who reveal the truth from five directions and the four levels of merit?
Without mentioning it, he said that the group of people wandered around the village near Laoxiong Ridge and visited many villages, but found nothing.
The area near Pingshan was already sparsely populated, with only a few sparse villages scattered around. The nearby Nanzhai was so frightened by the engineering troops that entered the mountain that they fled to avoid chaos.
In the end, the group had no choice but to walk through a deep valley in the mountains and head straight to Beizhai under the leadership of Rong Baoxiao.
The terrain on this section of the road is even more dangerous. It is almost all virgin jungle and there are no paths to follow. Generally speaking, "beautiful scenery" is often used to describe the mountains and waters.
But this valley, which the locals call "Shadaogou", can only be described as "beautiful scenery".
In a group of people, this valley is lined with strange peaks and strange rocks. In the canyon hundreds of meters deep, there are at least a thousand steep and upright stalagmites of different shapes, clumps of them piercing the blue sky.
In the valley, the sea of clouds surges, the fog rolls in, and dangerous rocks and strange rocks appear and disappear in the clouds and mist. Along the way, you can't see all the amazing scenery.
Fortunately, Na Rong Baoxiao was familiar with the situation in the mountain and could lead everyone in the strange valley without getting lost.
After introductions on the road, everyone knew that one end of Shadao Valley was connected to Pingshan Mountain, and the other end was Beizhai, the largest village in the vicinity, which they were about to go to.
Although the straight-line distance between the two places is not that far, the road in between is difficult and few people pass by here. Chen Yulou and others followed Rong Baoxiaoye through the mountains and ridges all night long, and only at dawn the next day, they were surrounded by chickens and dogs.
Hearing the sound, he arrived at the village.
This Beizhai is also called Jinfeng Village. As early as thousands of years ago, there were gold seedlings living here, and they made a living by digging gold veins.
Nowadays, there are both Yi and Han people in the village. The mountain people get up early and come out of the stilted buildings at dawn. Everyone is busy with their own work, creating a bustling scene.
Because the world is so chaotic today, even though the village is located deep in the mountains, it still needs to be guarded against bandits and bandits coming to loot it. Therefore, there are organized village warriors in the village, armed with muskets and shuttlecocks, to inspect foreign merchants at the mountain pass.
Chen Yulou and Partridge Shao were both accustomed to wandering around the world, so how could they be entrapped by a few mountain people? They were able to cope easily at the mountain pass, and easily pretended to be Zhalou Mohists and sneaked into the village.
Rong Baoxiaoye knows everyone around here, and no one has ever questioned her. Honggu is in her old profession, and she can handle it as easily as Chen Yulou and the other two.
Zhang Linxian went into trouble and pretended to be a fortune teller. When the villagers interrogated him, they just looked at him and let him in before questioning him.
Only Partridge Whistle, who was paying attention to Zhang Lin, saw that strange scene, and said to himself: "This man is really good at confusing people. I'm afraid Chen Yulou is not all exaggerating."
The main reason why the group of people came in disguise was because the people in the mountains hated the warlords and bandits. When they saw the shadows of those demon kings, they either fired a row of muskets at them, or they fled into the mountains with their belongings.
If they wanted to get some real details out, they had to disguise themselves so as not to cause unnecessary panic among the locals.
When the villagers in the village saw people coming from outside, they gathered around them curiously to see if they were traders or selling goods.
When the Partridge Whistle saw that more and more people were gathering in the mountains, he sang a big promise to everyone, and then started shouting and praising the carpenters of Zhalou Mohist.
The so-called: praise.
In the old society, when doing business and craftsmanship, it was a promotional slogan uttered to customers. It was specially used to show off one's own skills. It was also a cliché to worship God and make good fortune.
Some are sung and some are recited. Opera troupes have opera praises, storytellers have book praises, fiber-stretchers have haozi praises, pig butchers have raw meat praises, and carpenters alone have high praises and open halls.
There are dozens of likes and so on.
Partridge Whistle is proficient in all walks of life, has superb oral skills, and is also very clever. He can do whatever he learns.
At this moment, a carpenter's opening hymn was sung, how could it be compared to the ordinary carpenters working in the deep mountains? The mountain people cheered in unison and said: What a carpenter and craftsman, he sang so well.
By now, no one among the mountain residents who were watching disliked him.
Chen Yulou and Miss Hong were watching, and they couldn't help but look at him with admiration.
At this time, Partridge Whistle looked exactly like a young and handsome carpenter. Every move he made was exactly the same. You could tell that he was someone who: kills people in the dark of the moon, sets fires in the wind, digs ancient tombs, and has the skills to separate armor.
The mountain-moving leader?.
Chen Yulou was worried that his limelight would be overshadowed by Partridge Whistle, so he hurriedly came to his aid: "The villagers will know that although our three brothers and sisters are young, the craftsmanship of Zhalou is not bad at all. They were all brought out from the mother's womb."
He is good at everything from building chairs and building furniture to riveting buckles and tenons, but he can do any carpentry skills..."
He brazenly boasted, but luckily he didn't reveal that he was the reincarnation of Master Lu Ban.
The Miao people respect Lu Ban very much. It is said that the method of building a building in Dong Miao was taught by Lu Ban. If he exaggerates too much, it will not end.
That red girl was also a performer in the Moon Gate. Her ability to attract business and shout out praises was not inferior to that of Partridge Whistle and Chen Xiazi.
Zhang Lin found a remote location and did not shout, just silently set up his business.
Quietly watching Chen Yulou and the other two people singing and singing together, they quickly deceived the trust of the mountain people.
When the three of them saw that the villagers had heavy work, they made excuses to put it off to another day, and were only willing to do odd jobs. Rong Baoxiaoye also followed the busy work back and forth, and they were busy until noon, and only a few people arrived.
An old man from the Sa family borrowed a meal from his house so that he could have time to do his business.
Partridge Shao and Chen Yulou, as the leaders of a faction, are naturally good at sociability.
The two of them chatted all over the table with the father-in-law.
The father-in-law has also traveled extensively, and although his experience is not as good as the leaders of the two factions, when it comes to his experience, he is not shy compared to the two leaders.
The three of them were chatting happily when they suddenly heard a high-pitched rooster crow. It turned out to be the old man's son, catching a big rooster from the chicken coop. Next to it were a large blood-letting bowl and a wooden pier with a thick handle.
The large kitchen knife on his back was placed on the ground, as if he was preparing to kill the rooster.
Several people saw that big rooster with colorful feathers and a high crest. Although it was captured by someone, it still looked majestic and proud, and its demeanor was even more arrogant and untamed.
It is not angry and is proud of itself, and its spirit shines through its crest, soaring straight into the sky. It is very different from ordinary chickens. The comb is large and red.
As soon as the chicken's head moved, the bright red meat comb trembled wildly, as if it was holding a ball of burning flames.
Its feathers are divided into five colors, its rafters and claws are extremely sharp and sharp, glowing golden under the noon sun, and its body is twice as big as an ordinary rooster.
Partridge Whistle has extraordinary eyesight, and the fundamental principle of the art of moving mountains and dividing armor, which has been passed down for several generations, lies in the four words "restraint and restraint". To understand the principles of restraint and restraint, one needs to know the rare things in the world.
As soon as he saw this colorful-feathered rooster, he knew that it was extremely extraordinary, and secretly praised it: It is truly a divine thing.
A stone suddenly fell to the ground in my heart. I didn’t expect that I would be unable to find anything after stepping through the iron shoes. It took no effort to get it. I had just arrived at Jinfeng Village for half a day, and before I could take a closer look, I bumped into it. It seemed that I was going to break the stone in the Pingshan Ancient Tomb.
The poisonous mirage landed exactly here.
However, the old man's son had already carried the big rooster to the wooden stake, took the kitchen knife in his hand, raised his arm and raised the knife, and was about to chop off the chicken's head with one swing of the knife.
Okay, he shouted hurriedly: "Stay here!"
The old man's son was about to kill the chicken, but he was stopped by a young carpenter. He didn't know what he wanted. The old man was annoyed that he was too busy, so he scolded him: "I kill chickens at home and have nothing to do with anyone else. You Mo
Master, don’t worry too much.”
The partridge whistle apologized and said with a smile: "Don't be offended, I just saw that this rooster is so handsome. How can ordinary poultry have such extraordinary appearance? I don't know why you want to kill a good one? If you are willing to release it under the knife, Xiao Ke is willing to use it."
The money redeemed it."
Chen Yulou also said: "Could it be that the old gentleman wants to kill chickens to entertain guests... to entertain me? It doesn't have to be like this.
We carpenters are only willing to eat meat on the first and fifteenth day of the lunar month. Each person only needs three taels and a 20% discount. This is a rule set by our ancestors. It has been a rule since ancient times. We really dare not violate it.
, do not guard against leaving chicken under the knife..."
In his early years, the old man was under the Lei Tan sect of Jinzhai. Although he lived in a remote Miao village in the mountains, he refused to pay attention to a Zhalou Mohist who walked in the mountains. He said: "You young people must not understand these old people."
For example, my family kills a chicken but not to entertain guests, because it will never survive today. Even if you are willing to pay thousands of gold to redeem it, I will definitely let its head fall to the ground."
The old man did not want to lose time, so he ordered his son to slaughter the chicken immediately.
His son was a stupid man in his thirties. He pinched the wings of the big rooster from behind with his left hand, held a rusty kitchen knife in his other hand, and planned to kill the chicken by cutting off its head.
Partridge Whistle and Chen Yulou looked at each other.
They wanted to take a chicken from this mountain man's house, so they didn't have to worry about buying it even if they didn't take it by force. They just had to sell a golden "big yellow croaker".
But where should Master Zhalou have any gold bars? In this case, his identity will inevitably be revealed.
Therefore, the two of them had to act according to the opportunity and find an excuse to stop the mountain man from slaughtering the chicken.
Both of them are gangster leaders who kill people and sell goods in the green forest. They are not Xiaoke's thieves. Although they are dressed as Zhalou Mohists, they still can't conceal their movements and move casually.
, also has a faintly intimidating demeanor.
However, before the two of them spoke, Zhang Lin, who had been silent all the time, spoke.
He said: "The reason why the old gentleman killed the chicken is simply because a dog cannot live for eight years and a chicken cannot live for six years. I insist on killing the chicken today. I am afraid it is because after today, I am afraid that the chicken will become a climate, right!"
"
When the old man heard this, he sat down with a smile and said, "I didn't expect that this gentleman actually knew the inside story?"
When Chen Yulou and Partridge Whistle on the side heard this, they suddenly realized and secretly said: Ah, they actually slaughtered chickens for this!
